Win a Set of Six Mary Hogan novels!

The paperback edition of Mary Hogan's PRETTY FACE is out this month. It's the story of Hayley, a girl who's always the friend--never the girlfriend. Until a summer in Italy changes her self-perception. She's curvy, not fat. Pizza isn't evil. And life is so much more than one-size-fits-all.

To celebrate the release, we're hosting a giveaway that includes all of Mary's YA titles (that's SIX total!).

Quite a set, no?! To enter, just be a follower of this blog, and leave a comment below telling us what the last book you LOVED was. We'll pick one random commenter as a winner on Pretty Face's release date, March 24th.

The last book I loved? Hmmm... I'd say Paradise Lost by Kate Brian. The Private books are intriguing to me... they're part of the whole boarding school/rich kids/bitchy girls phenomenon, but I think they're much much better than a lot of the ones out there. And thankfully my best friend is completely obsessed with them, so whenever a new one comes out I get to read it right away. ;)

I am already a follower and the last book that I absolutely loved is Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist. That book has been stuck inside my head ever since I read it and the books that I'm reading now just can't seem to top that book!

It's a tie - If I Stay by Gayle Forman made me weep the entire read while filling me with an enormous sense of hope and Going To Far (Jenn Echols) which was so thought provvoking, satisfying and emotionally resonant. Love and adore them both for different reasons

I'm following. I just finished Willow by Julia Hoban and it was amazing. Definitely recommended. I have this HUGE Giveaway going on if you buy the book...definitely check it out if you want this book. :)

I read so much that it is hard to pick. But I just finished a novel called Wish You Were Here by Catherine Clark! It was so cute and the main character, Ariel was fun and lively!! But I definitely want to read Pretty Face!! It looks so cute and fun!!

I am a follower and the last book I couldn't put down was......awhile ago....thinking...Family Bones by Kimberly Riser. Sorry I was trying to think of one in this genre.Thanks so much,Darbydarbyscloset at yahoo dot com

The last book I read that I thought was awesome was Charollete Bronte's Jane Eyre. I loved that story even though it's older. It's a perfect book that keeps you on your toes and it's so inventive and romantic in a weird kind of way. I think everyone should read it once in thier life time becasue after thatyour whole world will turn upside down and books will be more then books.

I would so love to win this contest!!! The last book I absolutely LOVED was the Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. I think everyone should read it. The characters and plot are phenomenal, and it's the kind of book you'll be thinking about for days after you finish it.
